UNSPSC 50624300: Non GMO leek purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO leeks. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50624300 Non GMO leek purees is a Class code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable food products for institutional food service operations—primarily cafeteria, canteen, and kitchen supply programs at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school districts, and health agencies. The code encompasses prepared and semi-prepared food items, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, dry goods, condiments, and consumable food service supplies. Recent solicitations show state agencies and school districts buying mixed batches of 20–400+ line items that often span multiple commodity families; while the code nominally describes non-GMO leek purees specifically, the actual procurement activity under this classification reflects broader institutional food service contracting that includes proteins, grains, canned vegetables, sauces, and paper and sanitation products alongside specialty produce items.

State health and human services commissions, departments of corrections, state-supported living centers, and school nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with Texas and Georgia showing the most recent activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted multiple bids in 2026 for state-supported living centers (Lufkin, El Paso) and statewide hospital and residential facilities, ranging from $1.5 million (historical value, prior contract) to $4.5 million (maximum potential over three years); Georgia school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools) and the State of Georgia issued food procurement RFPs and IFBs in May and June 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois also appear as recent buyers. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at Lufkin State Supported Living Center (response due October 23, 2026, 22 line items); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (response due October 19, 2026); Burke County Public Schools sealed-bid procurement PE55037NONST2027000000007 for nearly 400 line items across five schools (bids due June 5, 2026); and Oregon Department of Corrections IFB S2910000017145 for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (prior award, bid due June 19, 2026). All solicitations require FOB Destination pricing with delivery included, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, minimum references, and proof of liability insurance.
